Find the model number without dismantling the appliance.
A model number can help us prepare, but it is never worth opening panels or moving an unsafe appliance to find it.


Start safely
Look only where the label is visible and accessible.
Common locations can include a door frame, inner edge, drawer surround or rear label visible without moving the appliance. Exact placement varies.

Do not dismantle
Skip the number if finding it requires tools or unsafe movement.
A photo of the appliance type and control area can provide enough context for the owner to ask a follow-up question.
Protect private details
Send label images through your private request.
Model and serial information should never be posted publicly.
